NeilBrown c3b328ac84 md: fix up raid1/raid10 unplugging.
We just need to make sure that an unplug event wakes up the md
thread, which is exactly what mddev_check_plugged does.

Also remove some plug-related code that is no longer needed.

Martin K. Petersen a91a2785b2 block: Require subsystems to explicitly allocate bio_set integrity mempool
MD and DM create a new bio_set for every metadevice. Each bio_set has an
integrity mempool attached regardless of whether the metadevice is
capable of passing integrity metadata. This is a waste of memory.

Instead we defer the allocation decision to MD and DM since we know at
metadevice creation time whether integrity passthrough is needed or not.

Automatic integrity mempool allocation can then be removed from
bioset_create() and we make an explicit integrity allocation for the
fs_bio_set.

NeilBrown da9cf5050a md: avoid spinlock problem in blk_throtl_exit
blk_throtl_exit assumes that ->queue_lock still exists,
so make sure that it does.
To do this, we stop redirecting ->queue_lock to conf->device_lock
and leave it pointing where it is initialised - __queue_lock.

As the blk_plug functions check the ->queue_lock is held, we now
take that spin_lock explicitly around the plug functions.  We don't
need the locking, just the warning removal.

This is needed for any kernel with the blk_throtl code, which is
which is 2.6.37 and later.

NeilBrown 8f9e0ee38f md/raid1: really fix recovery looping when single good device fails.
Commit 4044ba58dd supposedly fixed a
problem where if a raid1 with just one good device gets a read-error
during recovery, the recovery would abort and immediately restart in
an infinite loop.

However it depended on raid1_remove_disk removing the spare device
from the array.  But that does not happen in this case.  So add a test
so that in the 'recovery_disabled' case, the device will be removed.

This suitable for any kernel since 2.6.29 which is when
recovery_disabled was introduced.

NeilBrown a167f66324 md: use separate bio pool for each md device.
bio_clone and bio_alloc allocate from a common bio pool.
If an md device is stacked with other devices that use this pool, or under
something like swap which uses the pool, then the multiple calls on
the pool can cause deadlocks.

So allocate a local bio pool for each md array and use that rather
than the common pool.

This pool is used both for regular IO and metadata updates.

NeilBrown 4e78064f42 md: Fix possible deadlock with multiple mempool allocations.
It is not safe to allocate from a mempool while holding an item
previously allocated from that mempool as that can deadlock when the
mempool is close to exhaustion.

So don't use a bio list to collect the bios to write to multiple
devices in raid1 and raid10.
Instead queue each bio as it becomes available so an unplug will
activate all previously allocated bios and so a new bio has a chance
of being allocated.

This means we must set the 'remaining' count to '1' before submitting
any requests, then when all are submitted, decrement 'remaining' and
possible handle the write completion at that point.

NeilBrown 7571ae887d md/raid1: avoid overflow in raid1 resync when bitmap is in use.
bitmap_start_sync returns - via a pass-by-reference variable - the
number of sectors before we need to check with the bitmap again.
Since commit ef42567335 this number can be substantially larger,
2^27 is a common value.

Unfortunately it is an 'int' and so when raid1.c:sync_request shifts
it 9 places to the left it becomes 0.  This results in a zero-length
read which the scsi layer justifiably complains about.

This patch just removes the shift so the common case becomes safe with
a trivially-correct patch.

In the next merge window we will convert this 'int' to a 'sector_t'

Tejun Heo e9c7469bb4 md: implment REQ_FLUSH/FUA support
This patch converts md to support REQ_FLUSH/FUA instead of now
deprecated REQ_HARDBARRIER.  In the core part (md.c), the following
changes are notable.

* Unlike REQ_HARDBARRIER, REQ_FLUSH/FUA don't interfere with
  processing of other requests and thus there is no reason to mark the
  queue congested while FLUSH/FUA is in progress.

* REQ_FLUSH/FUA failures are final and its users don't need retry
  logic.  Retry logic is removed.

* Preflush needs to be issued to all member devices but FUA writes can
  be handled the same way as other writes - their processing can be
  deferred to request_queue of member devices.  md_barrier_request()
  is renamed to md_flush_request() and simplified accordingly.

For linear, raid0 and multipath, the core changes are enough.  raid1,
5 and 10 need the following conversions.

* raid1: Handling of FLUSH/FUA bio's can simply be deferred to
  request_queues of member devices.  Barrier related logic removed.

* raid5: Queue draining logic dropped.  FUA bit is propagated through
  biodrain and stripe resconstruction such that all the updated parts
  of the stripe are written out with FUA writes if any of the dirtying
  writes was FUA.  preread_active_stripes handling in make_request()
  is updated as suggested by Neil Brown.

* raid10: FUA bit needs to be propagated to write clones.

linear, raid0, 1, 5 and 10 tested.

NeilBrown e555190d82 md/raid1: delay reads that could overtake behind-writes.
When a raid1 array is configured to support write-behind
on some devices, it normally only reads from other devices.
If all devices are write-behind (because the rest have failed)
it is possible for a read request to be serviced before a
behind-write request, which would appear as data corruption.

So when forced to read from a WriteMostly device, wait for any
write-behind to complete, and don't start any more behind-writes.

NeilBrown 964147d5c8 md/raid1: fix counting of write targets.
There is a very small race window when writing to a
RAID1 such that if a device is marked faulty at exactly the wrong
time, the write-in-progress will not be sent to the device,
but the bitmap (if present) will be updated to say that
the write was sent.

Then if the device turned out to still be usable as was re-added
to the array, the bitmap-based-resync would skip resyncing that
block, possibly leading to corruption.  This would only be a problem
if no further writes were issued to that area of the device (i.e.
that bitmap chunk).

Suitable for any pending -stable kernel.

Tejun Heo 5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

NeilBrown 627a2d3c29 md: deal with merge_bvec_fn in component devices better.
If a component device has a merge_bvec_fn then as we never call it
we must ensure we never need to.  Currently this is done by setting
max_sector to 1 PAGE, however this does not stop a bio being created
with several sub-page iovecs that would violate the merge_bvec_fn.

So instead set max_segments to 1 and set the segment boundary to the
same as a page boundary to ensure there is only ever one single-page
segment of IO requested at a time.

This can particularly be an issue when 'xen' is used as it is
known to submit multiple small buffers in a single bio.

Further, this commit introduces a bug in the way it interacts with
the automatic read-error-correction.  If, after a read error is
successfully corrected, the same disk is chosen to re-read - the
re-read won't be attempted but an error will be returned instead.

After reverting that commit, there is the possibility that a
read error on a read-only array (where read errors cannot
be corrected as that requires a write) will repeatedly read the same
device and continue to get an error.
So in the "Array is readonly" case, fail the drive immediately on
a read error.

NeilBrown ed9bfdf1a4 md: raid1/raid10: handle allocation errors during array setup.
Both raid1 and raid10 create a mempool during startup.
If the 'alloc' function for this mempool fails, unplug_slaves
is called.
If that happens when the pool is being initialised, unplug_slaves
will try to use the 'conf' structure that isn't filled in yet, and
badness will happen.

So ensure that unplug_slaves doesn't get called unless we know
that the conf structure if fully initialised.

NeilBrown 1d9d52416c md/raid1/raid10: add a cond_resched
During 'check' of a raid1 or raid10 it is possible for the management
thread to spend a lot of time running 'memcmp' on blocks from
different devices, so make sure the thread has a chance to schedule.
raid5d already has a cond_resched (in process_stripe).

Dmitry Monakhov 1ef04fefe2 md: raid-1/10: fix RW bits manipulation
Recently Jens has changed bio_rw_flagged() logic by following
commit 1f98a13f62. Now it returns
bool instead of int. This broke raid1/raid10 RW bits manipulation logic.
One of visible result is BUG_ON triggering due to empty barrier

NeilBrown 0da3c6194e md: Improve name of threads created by md_register_thread
The management thread for raid4,5,6 arrays are all called
mdX_raid5, independent of the actual raid level, which is wrong and
can be confusion.

So change md_register_thread to use the name from the personality
unless no alternate name (like 'resync' or 'reshape') is given.

This is simpler and more correct.

Jens Axboe 1f98a13f62 bio: first step in sanitizing the bio->bi_rw flag testing
Get rid of any functions that test for these bits and make callers
use bio_rw_flagged() directly. Then it is at least directly apparent
what variable and flag they check.
